MY TRUE FRIENDS Sometimes we meet someone That makes a different impression On us than most other people do. They enter our lives and later our Heart and seem to know us as Well or maybe better than even ourselves. I think of these special people as friends They are here for me when I need someone To hear me when I am alone or sad or just In need of someone to talk to. I call these people friend because they do not Make bitter judgements against me when I Make a mistake or say something wrong or Would have been better left unsaid. I call them friend because they never leave My side when things start to go wrong. Instead they cling harder to me and try To' make the going easier for me. I call them friend because whenever THEY need Something I am here for them also. I hear them. Feel them, sense their needs In the same way they do mine. I call them friend because in all eternity They will remain beside me. They will walk with me forever and if Needed they would give me their life. I thank God daily for these special friends. There are not many in a lifetime and I Value them more that all the material riches On the face of the earth. I thank THEM daily for being here for me, And I let them know in little ways how much I love them and cherish this thing that I call TRUE FRIENDSHIP bgd 7-98
TO A FRIEND III Though the miles come between us And the times are passing fast We have a friendship That will forever last. . You are always in my thoughts, my heart, and I wonder how you are, As we travel different ways So near and yet so far. The future plans and goals to come No one knows them yet, But I do know one thing GOOD friends do NOT forget. So Please, remember always That these things can never end The heartfelt, deep meaning of the words "TRUE FRIEND." BGD 7/98
Dear Friend, You are my friend and I hope you know thats true. No Matter what happens I will stand by you. I will be there for you whenever you need me. To lend you a hand to do a good deed. So just call on me when you need me my friend. I will always be there even to the end.
I had some free time, so what did I do? I checked the computer to see if I'd heard from you. I used to walk out to a box to retrieve mail But I'd rather get it instantly than wait on the snail... Checking my email is always fun I usually get a joke or greeting from someone. I feel so connected because on the other end I know I've discovered a newfound friend. When I've had a hard day and need to share Here I can find a friend who will listen and care. And to this friend I hope I let know That I am always there for them also. Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form? It isn't exactly like the "norm" But where is it written, face to face we have to be For you to be a very good friend to me? That little joke, or note, or even just a simple "Hi" Could be like a ray of sunshine from the sky. So my online-pals , this is dedicated to you For all the smiles you have made anew May our friendship continue to grow and the warmth we feel continue to flow.
